Nice!

 

[LittleCat]

Moving on up indeed. Wonder how long it's been since UT was ranked higher than UK...

edit: I believe 2010 week 6. UT was #7 and UK #17

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

#16 in ESPN power rankings

Now the season starts

Needed Arkansas to be ranked to be a quality loss.

That’s not what defines a quality loss, has to do with RPI, not AP rankings.

I'd rather just beat the pigs.

Playing there at the right time. I'm not sure what the crowd will be like, but its got to be better than playing there in Jan or Feb.

It will be difficult, but UT has a decent shot at winning

Think I read that game is already sold out

We will.

Fyp - since we are ranked it will be a quality loss for Arkansas

 

[BruinVol]

There are only 2 Potenial bad losses on our schedule now. Home vs Vandy and LSU. No others will fall in that category

Huh? The game has been sold out for over a week, they’re hyping it up pretty big.

Students won't be there which is what he meant I am sure. I am surprised to hear it's sold out

Ole miss would also qualify as a bad loss I think

Students there? Or a bunch of old people sitting on their hands? Big difference

I did, thanks

We have been ranked 1 before under Pearl.

At home yes I agree.
Forgot about that game

Guessing you’ve never been to a game at Bud Walton?

Regardless of students being there or not, sold out arena...that place gets loud with or without students.

 

[vols 30]

Guessing you’ve never been to a game at Bud Walton?

No, but I have eyes and ears and know the difference when students are there or not.

Will it still be loud - yes
A little less crazy with the students out - probably

Does that make you happy now?

Have you been there ?

 

[TrapVol]

Did I miss something with Auburn? How are they receiving five votes?

Sweet climb to the top
